You correctly picked up that there was a duplicate booking although being advised about the length of time to refund my account (10 day...s) was disappointing. Given I had booked some time in advance I was surprised you immediately debited my credit card.
All customer service agents I spoke with were very helpful and knowledgeable - even about driving in South Africa ( I was sent a link to hints/tips)

Auto Europe's online booking and voucher system worked perfectly, as did pick up and drop off in Cape Town. The only suggestion I would... make would be to make it clearer to the hirer how the credit card blocking/charging/deposit system actually works. This was not as expected with charges deducted at point of collection.
